I think a combination of being attracted to the new job while being fed up with the old one is a safe bet. I believe one last event could’ve been the straw that broke the camels back, but it probably put in motion something that would happen anyways.
I don’t really have a great feeling about Don’s departure. Watching the Tulsky portion of the interview and his reaction to the question, I think they were all caught by surprise and I do think that’s interesting. They all know each other well and know each others circumstances. For Tulsky to be surprised I think something did happen that worked as an impetus.
Still, we expected Tulsky to be eventually be named gm or leave us to be someone else’s, I’m glad we didn’t lose him. He’s got the ability to answer questions without actually answering anything aspect of the job down, even when they ask very direct questions. They looked very bored halfway through the interview compared to Rod, who was surprising in how honest he was.
